Bhadohi Raid: Child Labor Scandal Involving MLA Zahid Beg

Authorities raided the home of Samajwadi Party MLA Zahid Beg, rescuing a 14-year-old girl from child labor. This comes after a long-time domestic help was found dead. A case is being prepared against Beg for both the death and child labor charges.

Bhadohi police and Labour Enforcement Department officials raided the residence of Samajwadi Party MLA Zahid Beg on Tuesday, rescuing a 14-year-old girl engaged in child labor.

The raid followed the discovery of a domestic help, Nazia, found hanging in her room at Beg's house on Monday. Nazia had been employed there for eight years.

The rescued minor, also employed as a domestic help, has been sent for a medical examination. Authorities are preparing a case against the MLA concerning Nazia's death and the child labor allegations.
